Prosecutor Nick Tatlow said: “The vehicle eventually stopped and the defendant was detained. He had been sick trying to swallow drugs. He had 33 wraps of cocaine weighing 2.92 grams altogether. They had a street value of £10 each. He also had 783 milligrams of cannabis and £171 cash.”

Elyas Patel, mitigating, said the defendant’s life has been a ‘car crash’ due to his ‘raging addiction to class A drugs’.

Mr Patel said: “There can never be any excuse or justification for anyone who, for whatever reason, peddle the misery of class A drugs on to our streets. But if there ever was an example of a young man blighted by his own addiction to these miserable drugs it is this defendant.

“He was street supplying for others higher up the chain to feed his own miserable habit and pay off debts he had accrued.”
